About the Ni-Cd battery pack
In the following cases the operating time of the
battery pack will be shorter than normal, even
after a full charge:
If the battery pack is used for the first time.
If used in low temperature conditions.
If it is stored in a fully charged or partially
charged condition.
If the charge is completely exhausted and it is
stored for a long period (more than 3 months).
If stored at temperatures above 40-C
(104.F).
The
battery will be restored to its original
condition after it has been used until
completely discharged and recharged, or after
it has
been recharged using
the Refresh
function of the AC adaptor/charger (sold
separately) two or three times.
The following operations also require power, and
will shorten the operating time.
It is recommended that you have on hand enough
charged battery packs to last 2 or 3 times the
expected recording time:
